We took the train from Dresden to Leipzig with some nice views. There were some vineyards with big houses. Leipzig station is apparently the largest in Europe.
There were some classic carriages and this train there.
There was a nice market by the old town hall (Rathaus).
The new Rathaus is huge with a big tower.
It has some strange carvings. These places often seem to have a bar downstairs.
Bach is one of my musical heroes and he was the musical director at the churches here for some time.
There is a nice museum about him. He had 20 children and lived nearby. Many of the children did not live long, but several became composers too.
His remains were moved to the Thomaskirche after the previous location was destroyed and there is a window for him.
They have some interesting sculptures around the city.
We took a boat tour to see another side. There was one bridge where we all had to duck down.
There is plenty of street art here, some of it well done. The artists need to get out in boats along the river to reach these locations. There are some nice houses along there and the old industrial buildings have largely been converted for apartments. I expect they are not cheap.
